Dhammapada 33

Language
Pāli

33

Phandanaṃ capalaṃ cittaṃ,
dūrakkhaṃ dunnivārayaṃ;
Ujuṃ karoti medhāvī,
usukārova tejanaṃ.

As a fletcher makes straight his arrow, a wise man makes straight his trembling and unsteady thought, which is difficult to guard, difficult to hold back.

Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
